A post-film Q&A discussion will follow with series host Campbell-Staton, Associate Curator and Excavation Site Director at La Brea Tar Pits Dr. Emily Lindsey, psychologist and science communicator Dr. Cara Santa Maria and series director Nathan Dappen of Day’s Edge Productions. The night will conclude with a reception offering light bites, drinks and a chance to connect with NHM scientists and local environmental organizations.
